On Saturday, August 13th the Mariposa County Fair Rodeo Royalty Contestants participated in their competition day.  Horsemanship testing was held in the morning for all divisions, followed by personal interviews with the Princess and Queen Contestants and ending with all contestants coming back together for the On Stage performance held at the Royalty Dinner later that night.  Special thanks to FFA Boosters for preparing and servicing the dinner and to all the volunteers, judges, fairgrounds staff, parents and sponsors for helping to support this event. 

Tickets are still available for the rodeo which takes place on Sunday, September 4th, 2016 at the Mariposa Fairgrounds at the fair box office or from any Rodeo Royalty Contestants.  The girls are also selling raffle tickets for $1.00 for a chance at a $500 visa card that will be given away at the Rodeo and you need not be present to win.  Support the Mariposa Friends of the Fairgrounds Foundation as we are dedicated to keeping the Fairgrounds open now and for future generations to enjoy.  For more Mariposa County Fair information visit: MariposaFair.com.
